For Christian families in Singapore, having a domestic helper who shares the same faith can be important. It can make it easier to discuss church attendance, prayer, religious practices and other aspects of daily life.
When hiring an Indonesian Christian maid, religion is only one part of the decision. Her previous experience, skills, personality, communication and ability to handle your household are also important.
Finding an Indonesian Christian Maid
Indonesia has a large Christian population, particularly in areas such as North Sulawesi, Papua and parts of Nusa Tenggara. Some Indonesian helpers who come to Singapore are Christian and may want to continue practising their faith while working here.
It is a good idea for employers to discuss these matters before hiring. For example, you may want to talk about church attendance, prayer time, religious holidays or other practices that are important to your family and the helper.
Every helper is different, so it is better to discuss your expectations openly rather than make assumptions based on her nationality or religion.
What to Consider When Hiring
Apart from religious background, employers should look at the helper’s actual experience and skills. Depending on your household, you may want someone with experience in:
-
Childcare and looking after young children
-
Elderly care
-
Cooking
-
Cleaning and general housekeeping
-
Caring for pets
-
Looking after family members with special needs
Communication is also important. A helper who is moving to Singapore may need some time to adjust to a new household, environment and routine. Homesickness and language differences can also take time to overcome.
Clear instructions and good communication from the beginning can make the adjustment easier for both the employer and the helper.
